Wolf Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
julialowe-81509 Wolf starring Jack Nicholson is a good movie and contains some pretty awesome sequences. It is quite visceral, and the pacing is good. Nicholson is his usual and pretty Michelle Pfieffer can also deliver her lines rather well. Mike Nichols takes a detour from the kind of films he usually makes and this one is special for it. This is quite different from An American werewolf in Paris and the likes. I wouldn't call Wolf underrated but it is a rather unseen film and many people haven't even heard of it.
Chris Irving Jack steals the show again with a great supporting cast of James Spader, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Plummer and many more in this great werewolf movie that offers horror and romance. Jack Nicholson stars as Will Randall a book editor on his way back home when he runs over an animal, little does Will know when he goes to check the animal, it is a wolf and it bites him. When he returns back to work he is intrigued to find that even though his job is failing due to the young executive Steward Swinton played by James Spader, that Will feels more alive than ever and he isn't backing down easily. His new powers of highly developed senses leave him feeling wonderful and new so much that he is falling for the ex boss's lovely daughter Laura Alden played by Michelle Pfeiffer but what he doesn't know is that his new senses come at a cost and it wants payback every full moon, can he keep Laura away from the beast within. It certainly may not be the most popular werewolf movie of all time for many fans but I certainly find it a thrill to watch and the great chosen cast make that happen with a equally good music score form Ennio Morricone and excellent make up effects from Rick Baker. This is well worth a 10/10 from me and if you haven't seen it then have a bite at it, you may even like it.
Predrag You can never go wrong with this movie's all-star cast and unique storytelling, film-making that reminds me a lot of a classic Stephen King picture. Jack Nicholson performance is well oiled, and does a fairly good job as the subhuman being. Jack's Eastwick co-star Michelle Pfeiffer rejoins him as a aloof and loveless woman who has manages to open her heart to the character and you can definitely see their Eastwick chemistry is not lost. The only thing that misses the mark slightly about the movie is Laura's brother. It is explained a little that he was a borderline schizophrenic and committed suicide.This is an excellent movie. Jack Nicholson has always been one of my favorite actors, and he was the perfect choice for this role. James Spader and Michelle Pfeiffer are captivating as well. Notice Michelle's yellow eyes and heightened sense of smell at the end of the movie. The action is non-stop and the special effects and wolf make-up are first-rate. Watch this movie and have a howling good time along the way.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.
GL84 Returning back to work after an accident, a publisher is suddenly endowed with a strange series of powers and abilities from the encounter and gradually realizes he's become a werewolf and must keep it in check before harming others.Frankly this one turned out to be quite enjoyable is problematic effort. When this one works is basically in the first half here, as this here is when it builds all the details about his affliction and condition turning into his real-life with the outburst of hair, the main change in attitude and overall personality change into being more ruthless and vindictive towards others as a result of this, and along with the sensory enhancements it paints a rather intriguing air while subtly hinting at the change. Due to this set-up, the early scenes of the transformation come off nicely as the deer attack out in the woods or jumping the hoodlums mid-change while in the park serve as fine introductions to the change, and coupled with the growing evidence really completes the picture. That also manages to make the big action- packed finale quite fun as there's a large, drawn-out brawl here through the barn and gets quite bloody as well. These here help it out, although there are quite a few problems here. The majority of these flaws here come from the film's inability to come to terms with what it wants to be, as the classy nature of this one is really troubling by holding down the true horror nature of the story. It really holds back here on the creature, both in the make-up and the creature' overall behavior as the wolf make-up is slightly haphazard with contact lenses and splotchy hair around the edges of his face being the only signifiers of the change which looks utterly lazy as a horror film while being too dark for the mainstream crowd. There's even the lame behavior of jumping around on wires for just about anything here resulting in superhuman leaps for an all-around weak main creatures that's all based on not appearing too controversial for the mainstream crowd, as if it's apologizing for being a horror film. There's not a whole lot of good will associated with a film if it doesn't accept what it really is, and is what really harms this one the most here. The last flaws here is the bland, unappealing pacing here that really doesn't offer much as this is mostly filled with utterly bland subplots, a really bland romance that unravels quite slowly that it really takes forever to get anywhere and never set-ups up too many horror scenes here in this section by keeping the whole thing downgraded in favor of these other elements that turn it away from a horror film. There here are what really hold this one back.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence and mild violence-against-animals.
